  • minecraft:behavior.random_hover
  • minecraft:behavior.random_sitting
  • minecraft:behavior.random_stroll
• The hover_height field in minecraft:behavior.random_hover now only accepts an object with min and max values. Other formats will fail to parse

Block Components

• Released the component minecraft:chest_obstruction from experimental for block format versions 1.26.20 or higher

Blocks

• Fixed content warning regarding texture variations for block components minecraft:item_visual and minecraft:embedded_visual
• Added content warning for component minecraft:item_visual trying to use texture variations. Variation textures are not supported for this component
• The "minecraft:selection_box" component will correctly give an error again when the y is over the 16 limit
• Fixed legacy tag: entries in block permutations being silently dropped when upgrading to format version 1.26.20, which could cause scripts relying on permutation-specific tags to fail
• Items with "replace_block_item" set to true will no longer take the planted block in a flowerpot

Editor

• Ensure proper offsets are applied when switching flatten modes in the Terrain Tool
• Fixed issue where Flatten Up was sampling too far into the ground
• Fixed an error that occurred when running the /reload command from tool mode chat shortcut

Entity Components

• Non-Ocelot and non-Cat mobs can now use "minecraft:behavior.ocelotattack"
• The component "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules" now takes an array of presets
  • "presets" is an array of elements with the same parameters as "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules" had previously
• The preset elements have the following new field:
  • "filter" is an actor filter with the default syntax
• Add filters parameter to minecraft:spawn_on_death

Mobs

• Fixed player friction not resetting for older content

Experimental Technical Updates

API

• Fixed a bug where in-flight http requests could freeze the game when the http client is destroyed in scripting
• Changed the maximum length of the text param of setText on TextPrimitive, to be 128 lines and 128 characters per line
• Fixed issue that caused websockets to not complete their connection with the server
• Fixing a bug with Debug Drawing and Primitive Shapes where they could get into a bad state when used with Simulated Players
• Class DimensionRegistry
  • Added method registerCustomDimension to allow registrations of new custom dimensions in beta
• Startup event
  • Added the ability to register custom dimensions during the before startup event

DDUI

• Adding support for multiline texts for MessageBox.body, CustomForm.label, CustomForm.header using \n

Blocks

• Fixed minecraft:replaceable to work with all parts of a multi-block. Also the component can no longer be defined in the permutations array, only allowed in the base components object
• Fixed selection outline for multi-blocks using minecraft:random_offset. Also for multi-blocks minecraft:random_offset can no longer be defined in the permutations array only in the base components object
• Fix minecraft:placement_filter not working for block with trait minecraft:multi_bloc
• Multi-blocks that don't have a minecraft:selection_box component will now default to a full block outline shape for each part

Voxel Shapes

• Added non-unit-cube voxel shapes for 19 Vanilla blocks when the Voxel Shapes experiment is enabled. These shapes improve face culling so that hidden faces between adjacent blocks are correctly removed
  • Cake shapes (1 block): 7 bite-counter shapes for each slice of cake
  • Candle Cake shape (17 blocks)
  • Composter shapes (1 block): 8 fill-level shapes for each stage of composting

Entities

• Added a new entity_version description field to entity behavior definitions that enables per-entity versioning and upgrade handling
  • The entity_version field is a JSON object containing an upgrades array, where each entry specifies an integer upgrade_to version and a name string referencing an upgrade handler defined in a new top-level upgrades section of the entity definition
  • Upgrade versions must start at 1 and be contiguous (e.g., 1, 2, 3), gaps or duplicates are rejected with a content error
  • Version 0 is reserved for entities that have no version set ("versionless"), which is the default for all existing entities
  • When an entity is loaded with a version older than the current definition version, all upgrade handlers between the entity's saved version and the current version are executed sequentially
  • Newly spawned entities are set directly to the latest version without running any upgrade handlers.
  • Upgrade handlers reuse the existing event system but are defined in a separate upgrades section, keeping them distinct from regular events
  • The entity's version is persisted and loaded/saved automatically
  • This feature is gated behind the Upcoming Creator Features experiment toggle

Entity Components

• The following fields have been added to the preset element exclusively in the beta version of "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules":
  • "scale_previous_velocity" scales the previous velocity of the target when hit
  • "horizontal_hit_angle_scale" scales the horizontal angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's aim direction
  • "vertical_hit_angle_scale" scales the vertical angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's aim direction
  • "vertical_position_angle_scale" scales the vertical angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's relative feet position
  • "scale_with_damage" enables scaling the magnitude of knocback based on the inverse square of the damage
• There is currently a known issue where knockback is applied twice
  • the first is the custom knockback defined by "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules"
  • the second is the default knockback with the custom "horizontal_power", "vertical_power" and "vertical_velocity_cap" defined by "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules"

Graphical

• Added static_light shading to weather
